(Minor) Perhaps we should prefix all upgrades in mainnet-upgrades with the upgrade number, like 01-homestead, 02-dao-fork and so on? Or add a meta doc describing the order of upgrades. Right now you have to know the sequence of historical upgrades by heart.

[ulerdogan]

Hello! I would love to present EIP-7212, which proposes a new precompiled contract for the secp256r1 curve. We want to receive feedback or reviews from the community and raise awareness while the EIP is being improved, as it's a Core Track EIP on the EL.

[SamWilsn]

I'd like to add an update from the EIP Editors on splitting the repository and governance changes.

[timbeiko]

@yperbasis we do have some form of Meta doc here. Let me know if you think that's sufficient or if we should still modify it.

@SamWilsn @ulerdogan added your items to the agenda 👍

I think this is just meant for the file names in the mentioned folder, and I would say that for this it would still be pretty useful to have easier access to the files there (at the end something minor though, still nice).

[parithosh]

We'd like to bring up testing updates from Devnet-8 and Holesky updates (We tested out 1.4M validators and >1B ether in the network and would like to propose the same for Holesky).

[timbeiko]

Got it @holgerd77 - added to the agenda. @parithosh same :-)
